Reflection:

From this I learned that breaking one of the most fundamental online conventions has very few consequences. Most of my Facebook friends didn’t react to the image at all- either they didn’t see it or they chose to ignore it. A limited number of people will “like” a convention-breaking image, but those who do do so without questioning the image. It seems that for some Facebook users, a “like” is more of a form of support for the person who posted rather than a symbol of appreciation for a post. For the majority of Facebook users however, a profile picture that breaks a convention is simply ignored.
